To date I haven't had an opportunity to drive a 2.2 911S. For now enjoying the more composed civil nature of the lower compression 2.4 911S. Nonetheless I'm still watching the market and waiting for what I consider the ideal 2.2 911S to come to market. When that time comes I'll seize the moment or defer and stick with my 1973. That said there's certainly very little to fault with the 1973 in my opinion.
